Learn how to identify, harvest and prepare a variety of wild plants and fungi depending on the season. The session is focused on the identification of edible and poisonous species and will invite you to engage all the senses.

The spring course focuses mostly on common greens, and herbs and maybe a few fungi and tree species found in hedgerows, forest floors and in fields. We will go over how to identify the plants, discuss any lookalikes, prepare them and discuss some of the health and ecological benefits.

We will meet at the Wild blossom site cabin and will Walk for around 1.5- 2 hours, (bring sturdy footwear as we may be walking up some slopes) before heading back to basecamp at the wild blossom wood to prepare some of our findings to taste.

There will be an opportunity to study and discuss some of the plants further with our library of plant guides when back at base camp.

The course is aimed at those who are interested in learning about foraging and want a bit of support to start or continue their learning journey.

Session includes a plant walk (including safety talk and foraging good practice), a yummy foraged fireside snack and a hot drink (wild tea)
